Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 166
Qin Wangzheng 30 years, winter.

The news of the three links reached the Qin Palace, which made Qin Wangzheng look melancholy, kneeling on the emperor's couch and weeping bitterly.

"Wang Ben, Marquis of Tongwu, Wang Jian, Marquis of Wucheng, Yang Duanhe, Marquis of Che, Changping Jun, the five senior officials, and Chang Wenjun, the general, died of illness one after another!"

"The plague broke out in Nan County, the earthquake broke out in Beidi County, and the floods broke out in Dai County!"

"Rumors of the six kingdoms in Shandong are everywhere: Qin Wangzheng violently annexed the world, and his position was wrong. This is God's punishment for Qin!"

All these three-way bamboo curtain paper hit Qin Wangzheng hard on the forehead, which caught Qin Wangzheng by surprise.

Wang Jian, Chang Pingjun, Chang Wenjun and other pillars of the empire had served Qin Wangzheng in the court before taking office. They could be said to be Qin Wangzheng's right-hand men. The death of three people one after another was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Qin Wangzheng.

I didn't expect them to walk in front of me!
And Wang Ben and Yang Duanhe are two tiger generals, one is guarding Daidi, deterring the two countries of Yan and Zhao, and the other is guarding the border with Meng Tian, ​​deterring the Xiongnu.

The two generals died one after another, which made Qin Wangzheng even more upset, and undoubtedly cut off Qin Wangzheng's heart.

However, disasters in the empire continued, and the Qin government could only open warehouses to release grain and provide relief to the people, but the nobles of the six countries actually slandered me, saying that I was a tyrant and that I was unkind?

Qin Wangzheng was sad, but also angry, and immediately ordered that any rumor-mongers should be killed.

Although the empire's speech was under control, it also made Qin Wangzheng feel that the empire was in turmoil, and there was a vague lurking force peeking at the Qin Kingdom.

And the hidden forces are naturally inseparable from Zhang Liang, and even this huge network of relationships was planned by Zhang Liang!

Therefore, it is imminent for Qin Wangzheng to overthrow Zhang Liang!
However, since Fan Zeng entered the palace, except for the daily court, he stayed in the mansion and did not go out.

Officials in the palace also impeached him for being lazy and slack in government, but each impeachment was refuted by Qin Wangzheng, which made all officials helpless against Fan Zeng.

When Zhongche Mansion ordered Zhao Gao to visit Fan Zeng, Fan Zeng didn't make any special requests other than simple courtesy.

The only thing that satisfied Qin Wangzheng was that his study was filled with books, as vast as a library.

Although Fan Zeng is old, he still has the habit of getting up early and reading in the morning, completely immersed in the ocean of books.

After hearing the news, Qin Wangzheng frowned, his eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, "Does Fan Zeng have such a big opinion of me?"

Li Si took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, Fan Zeng, a mere grassroots, does not pay attention to the Son of Heaven. I beg Your Majesty to kill him!"

Qin Wangzheng could hear Li Si's intentions, so he didn't agree decisively, but waved his hands and said: "I decided to go on another parade, just in case something happens, Prime Minister Zuo will deal with the parade first!"

After watching Li Si leave, Qin Wangzheng was heartbroken and asked himself, "Is Fan Zeng really worthy of my treatment like this?"

Fan Zeng's ability can be detected. As for whether Fan Zeng can be used by Qin, it needs to be said separately. If he can't be reused, what's the use of staying?
But Qin Wangzheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and now he put Fan Zeng on hold and began his third tour of the world.

The purpose of touring the world this time is naturally to remind the nobles of the six kingdoms of Shandong that the Great Qin has always respected them, but this kind of respect is inseparable from the principle of "those who follow Qin will prosper, and those who oppose Qin will perish", rather than letting Shandong The aristocrats of the Six Nations spread rumors unscrupulously.

In addition, Qin Wangzheng also ordered his subordinates to look for the Xiang family, Jing family, Zhao family, and Qu family in the state of Chu, the Zhang family in South Korea, the Tian family in Qi state, the Wei family, Zhang family, and Chen family in Wei state, and the Zhao family and Wu family in Zhao state. The whereabouts of the major clans of Yan, Ji, and Li!
After the demise of the country, these families all fled and hid. They were firewood for the empire. Once burned, it would be a raging fire, enough to make the empire fall apart and fall apart.

In the 31st year, Qin Wangzheng stepped into a six-wheeled carriage, followed closely by ten thousand iron eagle knights.

Qin Wangzheng was reviewing the memorial, and he dropped the brush in his hand to the ground sullenly, and said sharply: "Everywhere in the Great Qin is about to move, don't the people have settled down yet?"

Zhao Gao knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the people of Qin are willing to surrender. There are many policies and tools that benefit the world and the people are happy. How can they be uneasy?"

Immediately, Zhao Gao's face turned cold, his eyes narrowed and he said: "The nobles of the six countries have always been thinking about their homeland, and they don't know the general trend of China's unification. This is what we should change the enemy!"

Indeed, ordinary people would not have the ability to rebel against Qin even if they rebelled. The food, grass, supplies, ordnance, war horses, and army management and command needed for a large army to rebel, would an ordinary person rebel?

Even if it was a rebellion, most of them ended in failure. The fundamental reason for doing it was the small peasant mentality. Everyone was thinking about themselves, and they didn’t have any collective ideas. How could such an army have combat effectiveness!
The ones who can really succeed in rebellion are the royal nobles. They only need to raise their arms and open warehouses to stock up on food, and many people will follow him and rise up!

Therefore, the task of Qin Wangzheng's parade this time is to defeat them!

Everywhere the army went, they would arrest all the local nobles, confiscate their food, finances, and servants, and exile them all.

If you train private soldiers, according to the laws of the Great Qin, it is natural that all families will be executed!

Seeing the nobles of the six countries fall in his hands, Qin Wangzheng was inexplicably joyful in his heart.

But for some reason, a falcon often hovered over the carriage, and it often made a piercing roar, which made Qin Wangzheng look ferocious, and his voice was like falling into an ice cellar: "Bold! Why is a goshawk hovering around my carriage?"

Zhao Gao rolled his eyeballs and flattered him, "He's spying on His Majesty's dragon power!"

But Qin Wangzheng smiled coldly, and scolded: "Why do I need a falcon to spy on my dragon power?"

Zhao Gao understood it wholeheartedly, and immediately Dong Yi [yi], the general on the left, drew the bow with his left hand and the string with his right.

Charge, aim.

Only a stab was heard.

A flying arrow suddenly disappeared in the hands of Qin Wangzheng.

And during this short pause, the arrow went straight into the throat of a goshawk.

Everyone raised the halberd in their hands and exclaimed: "The general is mighty!"

Qin Wangzheng also popped out the side window, looked Dong Yi up and down, and asked Zhao Gao, "Who is this person?"

Zhao Gaole said with a chuckle: "General Dong Yi of the Left Route is good at riding and shooting, and also proficient in the art of war. He is a tiger general!"

The two words of understatement made Qin Wangzheng bestow a rank of noble.

But when he saw the food sent by Shang Shi Ling, Qin Wangzheng's face suddenly became gloomy: "Bold! These meals have been eaten several times? Can't we come to fresh ones?"

Shang Shi Ling was suffering so much that he could only leave silently with his head down, and make some new meals.

Xiao Zhinu had an idea and took the initiative to go to another world to find some food for Qin Wangzheng!
